Stop trying to manipulate people with morality based taxes. Actually try and solve the problem. These people don't care about the environment. Otherwise they would completely cut subsidization to wheat & corn. Then farmers would stop feeding their cows those things, thus reducing mono-culture pollution.
Make feeding them corn illegal. The cows would be healthier and they wouldn't need to subsidize pharmaceuticals for antibiotics to keep cows alive.
- cageface 9y agoThis isn't about morality or feeding wheat and corn to cows. It's about the greenhouse gas production inherent to raising beef. There's no way you're going to sustain the current volume of beef production on free range grazing alone. Industrial feeding techniques are required.
- betterbeehome 9y agoYes you can. Stop farming corn. Start farming grass. If we committed to it, it'd be possible. But it isn't BECAUSE of the government. And no this isn't about greenhouse gas production. If they cared, they would stop fracking for gas, releasing enormous amounts of methane and pollution a 1000 times worse. They just don't care about cows. Or health. Or the environment. Or even science. We've already figured out how to solve this issue. This isn't it. All they've figured out is how to get more taxes. These are morality taxes based on nonsense that would solve nothing. It blinds us to how we're farming wrong.
